About this property

Iconic Bristol Ferry Lighthouse

  • Built 1855, and recently renovated, the "Keepers Dwelling" & attached 4 story Light Tower offers a unique historical and visual experience.
    Climb to the top of the lighthouse to marvel at the ingenuity of Mt Hope Bridge. Watch in comfort as sailboats glide-by, and lobster boats drop their pots. Sit under the wisteria arbor and enjoy the early morning calm of Narragansett Bay. Just a few of the unique and memorable experiences for all ages.
    The space
    Guests will experience what it is like to live in an actual Lighthouse. The views are stunning from every direction. There is a large lawn, perfect for family games of corn hole! A large patio for outdoor dining and entertaining. A beach immediately adjacent is ideal for fishing and sunbathing. The Lighthouse has central air conditioning. The living room is super comfortable with ample seating. The Kitchen has all the modern conveniences and a utility room with a washer/dryer. Downstairs there is a bedroom with two twin beds (easily converted to a king upon request), and the bathroom with a shower. There is also a super fun outdoor shower. On the second floor there is a spacious master bedroom with a romantic iron bed and a balcony with seating to watch sunrise to the right and sunset to the left. There is also a half bath and what we call the "napping' room where one can read a book, watch tv or just nap!. From the "napping" room it's up a sturdy ladder to a bunk room. From the bunk room there is another ladder through a bulkhead hatch to the lantern room. A conservatory like space enclosed with windows offering breathtaking 360 degree views of Narragansett Bay.
    Other things to note
    Whether visiting family and friends, looking to experience all New England has to offer or simply looking to relax, the Bristol Lighthouse is an ideal place to stay. Close to the Mount Hope Bridge it is within easy access to Downtown Bristol, the quintessential New England waterfront Town steeped in History and fortunate to have a great many restaurants. Looking to be active, enjoy a bike ride to Warren , walk in Colt State park or play Pickleball on the Common. For a little more people interaction, cross the bridge and visit Newport, famous for its mansions, shopping and scenery. Newport is also know for hosting the Newport Folk Festival and Newport Jazz festival.
